"Did you know..."

Hey, that's the title of one of my favourite segments on a random old-school tv show, you might have heard of it: Bill Nye the Science Guy. OK... that was totally random and not what I was originally going to post about, but now I don't know what I wanted to say in the first place. That's also not a surprise.

I visited Aritzia the other day (ok, I know, laugh now at the hipster trending shopper) but I got a few great finds for good prices (!!!)
1. This awesome trapeze-esque top, in a kicker royal blue (one of my new favourite colours). It's cut just close enough to the body to NOT look like a maternity top, and has this great seamed yoke in the front and back. Reminder that I hate most embellishments that don't carry from the front to the back, it's just a personal pet peeve along with VPLs and pants that are just a little bit too short.
2. I swore I would never buy a non-Aritzia brand item from Aritzia, but nevertheless I found the greatest Kenzie top. OK, so I know you can get it at winners, but this top is smashing. It's a great swiss dot with an empire cut line. A great accenting bow in the middle of the empire "waist" and square cut neckline.
3. Random nautical navy top with red anchors - interesting gathering makes it unique, so I like it.
Overall, I was very happy - and I walked away from the mall with a great lulu wrap top that I've been coveting for a long while.

So, I guess I wanted to talk about my shopping...
there you go! As if you didn't already know - I love shopping.... now I had better go sell some drugs to make some money for all of my bad habits.

p.s. since being in Canada, I finally (today!) caught my first glimpse of FT (Fashion Television) ... I'm finally home!
p.s. I just realized that I was really good today, and wrote this post with capitalization. lucky you!

Victoria Day

so today is victoria day - for all of you who live in the states, i suppose you could equate it with your "memorial day" - which comes a week after ours. thusly, a long weekend anyways- so no work for me today. i pretty much spent the day sleeping in, ironing (!) and watching some cityline (!!!).

have i mentioned how i miss cityline while living in the states? ok, so you may have your regis/kelly or other random morning talk shows, but they are no match for marilyn denis.




Marilyn Denis, host of CityLine



Sandra Pittana (and husband) - stylist/fashion guru of CityLine

i especially miss fashion fridays with sandra pittana - she's amazing. given, sometimes her shows border on fug, but mostly she's pretty reliable. who could argue with her, when she put together a whole fashion show about winners - possibly one of my fave stores, ever? plus, she has amazing hair... i wish asian people could get their curl on like that.



Chef Michael Bonacini - mmm, i mean his food!!!

oh, and a little michael bonacini wouldn't hurt. that man is amazing! ok, so the accent doesn't hurt his awesome cooking skills. if you are ever in the toronto area, i suggest oliver & bonacini's @ bayview village. oh, and if anyone wants to take me out to canoe, just let me know!

Khalil Fong

just another warning before i start... if you can't handle improper use of capitalization (read: i hardly ever capitalize my sentences or words for that matter) then you should probably skip reading my blog. you might just go crazy. ok, so i admit that i myself am an editor, but i still can't seem to break this habit - although i do correct others on a fairly regular basis. ok. now on with the show.

AHEM. Khalil Fong



... is my new favourite. incase you couldn't tell, he's the one on the left with the beautiful glasses.

Warning

This is just a warning (for Helen, Annie, Doretta and those others who may know me too well, you know who you are) - I have finally started my blog... we'll see how often it gets updated, shall we? Now let the fun times begin!
Cheers!
